Two thousand would not have been enough to do much even before she transmigrated, let alone in this era.
She cursed the original Jiang Xu’s poor judgment again. No matter how much of a simp she was, she should at least have kept enough money to ensure her own livelihood.
Now that she had transferred one million to Shen Jue, she still had two million left. But even that was not enough to live on. A single combat uniform alone cost more than a million.
Before transmigrating, Jiang Xu had been dirt poor. She had worked a six-thousand-yuan-a-month job while supporting Zhou Jinmo, that shameless scumbag. Even when her boss chewed her out, she had not dared to quit.
She had never expected that after transmigrating, she would be living in a luxurious villa, using robots, and having five husbands who could all earn money, yet she would still be poor.
No matter where she was, she could never escape the fate of having to make money herself.
She had to do her best to change those five men’s opinion of her within the next two weeks. That would give her a better chance of surviving.
She would consider this money her way of helping the original owner find peace.
Money could always be earned again. Once her life was gone, she would have nothing left.
Shen Jue and Shangguan Yan had never expected Jiang Xu to actually be willing to give them money. Although the amount was not much, she had previously been so stingy that she would not give away even a single cent.
Previously, Fu Xiuyan had been seriously injured and on the verge of death. When she was asked to pay for his treatment in a medical pod, she had bluntly refused to give him a single cent.
If the others had not secretly kept some private savings and pooled their money together, Fu Xiuyan would have died.
Shangguan Yan quickly stopped dwelling on it.
“Why bother worrying about all that? If she gives it to you, just take it. Come on, let’s go to the hospital.”
Shen Jue nodded.
His injuries could wait, but stabilizing his ability could not.
After watching the two of them leave, Jiang Xu quickly followed her memories to her room. She locked the door, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
In an instant, she was pulled into a different space.
When she had first transmigrated, even while she was beating Zhou Jinmo, Jiang Xu had already noticed it.
She had wondered why everyone else who transmigrated got a golden finger while she had nothing.
It turned out she had one too.
This space was the small courtyard her parents had left to her.
Her parents had died prematurely in an accident a few years earlier, leaving her only this plot of land. It had a two-story Western-style house of about 120 square meters, with a yard in both the front and back.
The front yard had originally been used to grow vegetables, but after her parents died, no one had taken care of it, so quite a lot of purslane had grown there.
The backyard had several fruit trees, including peach, plum, pomelo, citrus, loquat, and persimmon trees.
Next to the backyard was a small fish pond.
Knowing that she loved flowers, her parents had also planted a rose, wintersweet, and gardenia by the wall.
Jiang Xu walked around the space.
Everything was exactly the same as when she had returned home and seen it before transmigrating. Even her parents’ belongings were still there.
Originally, the front yard of Jiang Xu’s family’s property faced a road built through the village, while the backyard bordered another family’s land, separated by a narrow field ridge.
Now, however, this entire plot of land was surrounded by thick fog.
When she tried to go beyond the fog, she felt an invisible barrier pushing her back.
Just as she cautiously reached out and touched the fog, a strange sensation traveled from her fingertips.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
This was a water-type ability?
Jiang Xu withdrew her finger and saw a drop of water condense at her fingertip.
She closed her eyes and sensed the energy within her body. Then she casually waved her hand.
A light drizzle fell at her feet, soaking the hem of her skirt.
But she did not mind at all.
The original owner had never awakened an ability. It seemed that her water-type ability was closely connected to this space.
In the post-apocalyptic era, both the land and water sources had been polluted. The government spent a considerable amount of money every year simply disinfecting water sources.
As a result, water-type ability users were among the most sought-after ability users.
After the initial surprise, Jiang Xu suddenly felt extremely hungry.
It is currently May. Apart from the loquats growing on the trees and the fish in the backyard pond, there was nothing else to eat in the space.
She quickly picked several clusters of loquats, used her water-type ability to wash them, peeled one, and put it into her mouth.
She did not know if it was just her imagination, but the loquat seemed to taste richer than the ones she had eaten when she had returned to her hometown before.
It was sweet and sour, and incredibly delicious.
After eating several clusters, she still felt unsatisfied.
Just as she was about to leave the space, a sudden sharp pain struck her stomach.
At the same time, an awful sour smell began coming from her entire body.
Jiang Xu almost gagged from the stench.
She hurried into the bathroom on the first floor to relieve herself.
Since it was a rural self-built house, the septic tank was separate, so the bathroom could still be used as long as there was water.
There was no running water in her space, and the water in the backyard pond was dirty.
Fortunately, she had a water-type ability. Otherwise, this would have been quite troublesome.
After cleaning herself up and taking a shower, Jiang Xu immediately felt much lighter.
The previous sensation of her calves feeling as heavy as lead had disappeared.
She knew that this was something almost everyone in the apocalypse experienced to some degree. The pollution was severe, and more or less every edible thing contained some toxins.
Scientists had already developed nutrient solutions that could stave off hunger, but compared with actual food, they still could not provide the same feeling.
After having diarrhea and expelling all those impurities from her body, if Jiang Xu still did not realize that the loquats had detoxified her, she would have been an idiot.
It seemed that the fruit in this space was different from the fruit that had existed before she transmigrated.
The loquats could detoxify the body.
She wondered whether the other fruits had similar effects or perhaps completely different abilities.
Jiang Xu became excited at the thought.
The small amount of loquats she had eaten had been completely used up after all that, and she was even hungrier than before.
She did not know how to catch the fish yet, so she might as well go eat something ready-made.
Jiang Xu quickly left the space, went downstairs, and headed to the kitchen.
Based on the original owner’s memories, she planned to order the kitchen robot to prepare some food.
However, after she gave the command, the robot said cheerfully, “Sorry, Master. There isn’t any food in the house.”
Jiang Xu refused to believe it.
She searched through every cabinet and corner of the kitchen.
Sure enough, there was nothing.
She could have transferred money to the robot and had it purchase food, but she had no intention of doing that.
This was actually a good opportunity to go outside and get a proper understanding of this era.
She checked the supermarket map on her light-brain and headed straight for the nearest one.
Once she stepped outside, Jiang Xu finally realized just how far advanced technology had become beyond her imagination.
Hovercars flew through the sky.
Scenes she had previously seen only in interstellar science-fiction movies had already become reality.
Jiang Xu looked like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city. Every time she saw something unusual, she could not help letting out an amazed exclamation.
Because of this, anyone passing by who saw her behaving like that would give her a strange look.
Jiang Xu felt a little embarrassed.
There were more men than women outside. Whenever she happened to see a woman, she was surrounded by several men.
Moreover, all these men seemed to have been subjected to some kind of beauty treatment.
There was hardly an ugly or overweight man anywhere in sight.
They were completely different from the overweight, bare-chested men she had seen on the streets before transmigrating, who spat wherever they pleased.
Just as Jiang Xu was marveling at how well the women of this era were treated, she suddenly saw a crowd gathered ahead.
A woman’s voice came from within the crowd.
“Fu Xiuyan, Chi Zhou, and Jiang Xu are completely insane. You two should divorce her as soon as possible and come be with me instead.”
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow.
Had she just stumbled upon gossip about herself?
She immediately walked toward the crowd.
